Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics

Background:

  • Arterial wall viscoelasticity significantly influences pulse wave dynamics.
  • Previous models often simplify the complex viscoelastic behavior of arteries.
  • Understanding pulse wave propagation is crucial for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model arterial viscoelasticity using a nonlinear Kelvin-Voigt model.
  • To investigate the influence of arterial viscoelasticity on pulse wave propagation.
  • To quantify the damping effects of viscoelasticity in a sheep arterial network.

Main Methods:

  • Developed and applied a nonlinear Kelvin-Voigt model for arterial viscoelasticity.
  • Fitted model coefficients using experimental pressure and radius time series from a sheep arterial network.
  • Incorporated fitted viscoelastic parameters into a nonlinear 1D fluid dynamics model to simulate pulse waves.

Main Results:

  • Achieved good agreement between the nonlinear Kelvin-Voigt model and experimental measurements.
  • Found that viscoelastic relaxation time remains relatively constant across the arterial network.
  • Demonstrated that increased viscoelastic coefficients in peripheral arteries compensate for higher stiffness, enhancing wave damping.

Conclusions:

  • The nonlinear Kelvin-Voigt model accurately captures arterial viscoelasticity.
  • Viscoelasticity plays a critical role in damping high-frequency pulse waves, especially in peripheral arterial sites.
  • Findings provide insights into the biomechanical properties of arteries and their impact on cardiovascular health.
